Posted on 26 June, 202126 June, 2021 by Cynthia

Hi everyone! I’m catching up on a bunch of blogging this weekend so I hope you come back to see all the swatches I have to share with you. Now that July is just around the corner, it’s starting to get warmer and I’m dreading the heat. I have never been one to follow any kind of nail polish colors based on the seasons so it won’t surprise you to see me rocking these shades in the summer. The Prism Polish UK Stay Cosy Collection is really on of my favorite collections that I have swatched this year. Yes, I said that. Let’s take a look at my swatches below.

Zoya Dreamin’ Collection

Posted on 10 June, 202110 June, 2021 by Cynthia

I am so glad it’s Thursday! I know I’ve mentioned already that I’m feeling sluggish and I think I just need a quick reset which hopefully happens this weekend. I’ve been doing my own version of meal planning so that takes up some time on the weekends, but it really makes lunch/dinner so easy during the week. It’s kind of difficult to cook on a daily basis when you’re just cooking for one, so this is working out for me. I did recently try some meal kit plans and i absolutely hated it. I did not like the meals and I hated all the messy packaging. Today I will be sharing with you my swatches of the Zoya Dreamin’ Collection so I hope you like them. Let’s take a look below!

Zoya Easy Neons Collection

Posted on 9 June, 20218 June, 2021 by Cynthia

Is it really just Wednesday? I feel like this week has dragged on so badly and I can barely wait for the weekend to roll around. I feel like every weekend I make a bunch of plans for stuff that I want to get done around the house and yet I end up doing none of it. Now that I have cleared out my swatch pile, now I don’t have to worry about that and just do other stuff like…sitting on the couch and watch movies? Ha! Speaking of movies, I just watched the new The Conjuring movie on HBO Max and it was pretty good. It wasn’t as good as the first one, but it was interesting enough. Anyway, today’s post is all about the Zoya Easy Neons Collection so let’s take a look at my swatches below.

Wildflower Lacquer Where Stars Are Born – Charity Box June 2021

Posted on 8 June, 20217 June, 2021 by Cynthia

It was sooooo gloomy yesterday. It was the perfect example of California June gloom, and it just put me in a sour mood. While I don’t necessarily care for hot weather, I do enjoy a little sun. It’s actually been pretty cool (especially at night) which I don’t necessarily mind, but I’m scared of how hot this Summer might end up being. This is the perfect “stay home and watch HBO Max all day” weather and that’s exactly what I did once I was done with work. Today I’m going to be sharing with you my swatches of Wildflower Lacquer Where Stars Are Born which will be available for this month’s Charity Box. Let’s take a look at my swatches below.

Wildflower Lacquer Raw Crystal Collection

Posted on 7 June, 20216 June, 2021 by Cynthia

How was your weekend? I didn’t do much except clean, watch some tv/movies and prepare for the coming week. Have I ever mentioned how much I like to do laundry? I must be a total weirdo but I really enjoy folding laundry and organizing my dresser drawers and closet. I also took out a lot of my polishes an ended up organizing them by brand. About a year ago, I promised myself that I would only allow myself to keep 1 melmer full of polish and now I am close to two full melmers. I failed, but there there are just so many pretty polishes! Today I am going to be sharing my swatches of the Wildflower Lacquer Raw Crystal Collection so let’s get into it after the jump.

Music City Beauty Ruby Slippers – PPU June 2021

Posted on 1 June, 202131 May, 2021 by Cynthia

So this week I’m going to have a few polishes that will be available this Friday for Polish Pick Up. I am still in a little bit of denial that we are now in June. Where did the time go? I’ve still just been living my worst life in isolation (funny, but not funny?), but I hope that things get better in the near future. I’ve been playing non-stop with polish because that’s really a time consuming hobby since I have to much and organizing stuff is one of the things I love to do. For today’s post, I am going to share with you Music City Beauty Ruby Slippers which is a gorgeous red holo glitter bomb. Let’s take a look at my swatches below.

KBShimmer RV There Yet? Collection

Posted on 31 May, 202130 May, 2021 by Cynthia

Hi all! As I mentioned last week, I have a ton of swatches to share with you and today I have a brand new collection to tempt you with. This weekend I was planning to do a bunch of swatches to clear out my swatch pile but I had a bit of a break so I am going to wait for it to grow out a bit. Thankfully it was not a terrible break but it’s enough to make my nails look wonky since they will not all be the same length. Let’s take a look at my swatches of the KBShimmer RV There Yet? Collection after the jump.

Prism Polish UK In Without A Bang Collection

Posted on 28 May, 202127 May, 2021 by Cynthia

When I was thinking about the polishes in the Prism Polish UK In Without A Bang Collection I knew right away what the inspiration was. It made me think back to all of 2020, but it also made me think of T S Eliot’s The Hollow Men:

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

Eliot is probably one of my favorite poets of all time yet I strongly dislike him at the same time. How does that even make sense? Anyway, let me show you my swatches of this collection below. Continue reading “Prism Polish UK In Without A Bang Collection” →
